A Northern machinist Riven the fol lowing estimate of the prime cost of the machinery needed for a cotton fnc tory of one thousand spindles with the necessary preparation and moving ma chinery to run by steam : COST OF ONE THOUSAND “JUNO” SPINDLES AND PR BP A RATI AN. Machinery— One Mason's whipper $ 75 One picker and tapper 350 Four double dotting cards 1000 One drawing frame, three heads 225 One slubber, 36 spindle# 7 00 One fly frame, 84 spindles 800 One thousand ring spindles $4 each 4000 Two reels, $35 each 70 One bundling press 50 One baling press 75 Fixtures— Four sets card clothing, at S6O $ 240 Cans and bobbins 200 Shafts, pulleys and belts 700 Turning lathe 60 One ten horse power en gine 1200 Extra chargee for fitting up 150 Total coat of machinery and fixtures $9885 The above is a detail of the cost of ooe thousand spindles and preparation, without looms Without going into detail, $lO per spindle is a safe euleu lation. Ooe hundred spindles is the common estimate per horse-power. Twelve looms, with accompanying machinery, consume one horse power; forty looms should be allowed to one thousand spindles for spinning medium numbers, say twenties to thirties.— Looms cost $65 each. Ibe cost of one thousand spindles with preparations and weaving ma» chinery would be as follows : Whole cost of one thousand spindLs and preparation (deducting price of reels and bundling press, which are not needed for weaving) is $9,765 Fori) looms, at 65 each 2,600 One di esser 450 One warper 100 One spooler 80 Extra chargo for oteam engine, _ *ay, • 350 Extra charge for shafts k belts, 250 Total sl3 595 From this detail it appears that the cost per spindle with looms is sl3 60, but a safer calculati n would be sl4 per spiDdle. For one hundred spindles without looms, I would recommend a or.s s’ory building one hundred feet long and sis ty leet wide. If lonm< sreadded, one hundred and forty feet long and fifty feet wido. For two or three thousand spindles, let the building be two or three stories high, each story the same in capacity as above recommended. As the cost of labor and materials in Jiflerer.t localities varies, I refrain from giving any estimate of the cost of buil ding a mill to contain the above ma chinery. Any one can do this with the capacity and cost of materials given.— I would remark, however, that a build ing at the South, with theeame cost of labor and material, could be erected much cheaper than oue adapted to our Northern climate. The return from cotton in well man aged mills is eighty five per cent, al though many return seventy-five per cecl. A loom in fair operation will produce thirty-two yard# p#r day, run ning at one hundred and tan picka per miuute, and making cloth sixty-four picks or threads of weft per inch. The Mattcawan Company have sent machinery to the South for a large Dumber of mills, an! could probably furnish it is cheap and at as short no tice as any machine makers in the 1 country; although the best means for a Southern company to start a mill well, and in the shortest possible time, would be to engage a good practical manufacturer, aud let him put the mill . in operation and furnish a competent superintendent for a specified sum.— This plan has been adopted, and 1 be lieve with success .Respectable per sons can be found to take charge of new factories if the loaations are agree able Ladles Should Read Newspa pers. The Cbarleston JVetr* has the sob joined well written sod sensible article on this subject, which We bare eref re garded as of the utmost importance to the advancement of intellectual culture <n every family. *‘lt is a g eat mistake in female edu cation to keep a young lady’s time aid attention devoted to only fashionable literature of the day. If you irotild qualify her for conversation, you must give her so oetbing to talk about—give her education vri'h the actual world, witn the outer world, and its traoapi ring events Urge bet to read newspa pers and become familiar with the pres ent character and improvement of our raco. History is of some importance; but oftr thoughts and our c ncein« should be mainly for the present time —to know what it is and improve the condition of it. Let her have an intcl ligeut opinion, aud be able to sustain intelligent conversation coreerning the mental, moral tmd rtlgious itnprovc men's of our time, Let her gilded annuals ttnd p>,cms cm the center table be kept part of the lime covered with weekly daily journals. Let the wko4e family—men, women and cbil dfeu—read newspapers.” He who is inditfrenf to praise is ge«- eraily lost in shame. Arkansas Horror. CONVICTION AnWAJECUTION OK THE MIL ITIA WENDS. The four colored militiamen, named Wm. Porter, Monroe Allen, Hector Aoton aud William Reese, connected with tbo force stationed at Marien, Crittendoo county Arkansas, who per petrated tbe tieudish and beastly ciime of rape, upon several women living in the vicinity of the camp, were arruinged before a court martial on the 18th in-t, and were eonvioted of the alleged charges, and shot by order of the Ci urt. on the following, day, between 4 and 5 o’olock in tbe afternoon. The court martial which convicted the parties consisted of tho following named officers; Lieut. Col. Wain, Prssiden'j Lieut. Haynes, Judge Advocate; Capt. Taylor, Capt.Osterwald, Lieut. Campbell, Lieut. Wendlard, Lieut. Mpears, Lieut. Lee, Lieut. Goff and Lieut. Nichols, colored. All st tbs prisoner#, on being called upon to answer Is tbe charges against them, pleaded gsilty with the exception of William Reese, who plead not guilty bat who was, during the examination of the oaae, proven guilty by the evi dence es his own witness. The vote of tbe eonrt in doeiding the ease of all parties was unanimous for eonviotion. Upon the olose of tho trial the crin'nala were ooDfiued in tbe guard house and were allowed the company of the colored obaplaios connected with the foree, who administered religious consolation to tbeir troubled minds till the time arrived for their execution, which was formally announced ty the prisoners n half hour previous to their death. Th# intervening moments between the announcement and the time they were shot were of dreadful! agouy nnd wailings, mingled wi;|) cries to the tffi cert to abate their punishment, and prayers to the Giver of their lives for pardon nnd mercy. Their piteous sod loud criss rent the air, and were heard throughout the neighborhood, sending a cbiil of horror to all. The men and officers of the garrison were, however, unanimous in their condemna tion of the outrage, and not a word of remonstrance, or an intimation of re sistance to the execuliojof the sentence of the coart, was beard. On the CjO ** was sewed by the officers, from the excited feeling of the privates, (particularly of those in tho same com pany of the criminals), that previous to the promulgation of the order of the court martial, they would break through the guard, and deal out vengeance themselves to the prisoners who had so oruelly disgraced them. A few minutes previous to the exe cution, the prisonrs were led out from the barricade a short distance, where their coffins were laid side by side, a few feet spart, and each tied to a stake driven in the ground at the end of the with their back# to the same, horty men, all colored, and selected from every company, under command of Lieutenaot Greg- ry, coloied, were dcs tailed to shoot the crisnnals.' They were drawn up into two ranks. At the command of the offioer, the front rauk leveled their guns at tbe men and fired, the fatal shots killing them in.-tmtly. A squad of men wera thon detailed to place the bodies in their coffins and buiy them. The affair was witnessed by the en tire militia 1 iree, with tbo exception of several scouting parties. Two of the unfortunate victims of the beastly lust, which led them to perpetrate the crime of rape and to suf fer its just penalty, wero young men about ssxteen or seventeen year# of age, and in their ignorance, were not aware of the enormity of the crime. Tbe other two were men oi sufficient age aud reason to know what they were doiog. The names of tbe women wbo werv outraged are as follows; Mrs J Reeves, Mrs. Jim. Watson, Mrs. Calloway, Mrs. McGee and Mis# Sweptson. All were married and bad families save the lat ser.—Memphis Post. £3TAj >ke is told of a preacher in Nebraska, who had dined with a frieod just before afternoon services. As it happened this friend occasionally luxu riated in a smile of the srdcut, and sometim ;s carried a morocco- eovered flask in his overcoat pocket. By mis take the minister took the friends over coat on bis departure, and walking in to the pulpit, began the exercises with out doffing the garment, it being ri tber chilly in the room. Looking Very ministerial over his congregation from behind bis specta cle*, he began drawing from bis pocket as he supposed, bis bymn book with tbe Introductory remark that the con gregation would sing from a particular page which he had selected beforehand. The minister held tb? supposed book up in fail eight of tbe cougregniion, and attempted to Open it tideways, but it was no go. Tbe situation was real ised in a moment, blit alas ! too late. His reverence was dumfounded, tbe audienoe giggled, and tbe wbde scene waa made ludlorotfs by a fellow in the back part of tbe congregation, not altogether too sober, wbo drawled out > •‘»ay, minuter, kin we all (hie) j oe in that ar hymn TANARUS” te5~A Little boy came to scbo>l the o’her day with a very dirty faoo.
